(...) Hey Allan, My understanding is that the 1x1 brick with stud on only one side is not produced by TLC because the patent (!) is still owned by Ritvik and used in MegaBloks. That's why they could only do the 1x4 like that, at least until the part (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jan-04, to lugnet.general)
